She donated land for the construction of a new hospital, in honor of her late husband, W.A. Foote. Foote Hospital opened its doors to patients in 1918, and the hospital is still located on its original site. In 1975, the Hospital merged in ownership with Mercy Hospital, which had been operated by the Sisters of Mercy. Several years later, the two moved into one larger, more modern facility, which was completed in 1983. In 2008, Foote Health System rebranded to become Allegiance Health. In that same year, the health system brought open-heart surgery and non-emergent cardiac intervention services to Jackson County for the first time, with the opening of the Allegiance Health Heart and Vascular Center. On November 10, 2015 Allegiance Health announced an agreement to join Henry Ford Health System. [4] The partnership was completed on April 1, 2016, when the Hospital became Henry Ford Allegiance Health. In April 2022, Henry Ford Health System rebranded to become Henry Ford Health, and Henry Ford Allegiance Health was renamed Henry Ford Jackson Hospital. Henry Ford Jackson Hospital is proud of its long, successful history and of its continued commitment to the health and well-being of its community and region. (en)
